My motivation in undertaking such a project as translating the original Grimm stories grew out of the beauty of the original stories and the fact that no
accurate and complete English translation of this work existed. I am not a Grimm scholar (although I am slowly becoming one), I have no specific training in translation or literature. I have my own feelings on how a
good translation could be and should be done and have attempted to do it. Time will tell if the endeavor was successful. I have attempted to be as accurate as possible, but as in many endeavors, there will no doubt be
mistakes. Corrections and comments gladly accepted at :

#2 "godfather" should be: "godmother" This has been updated in the ebook and softcover book.See explanation

pg 417 becomes is a tiger -> becomes a tiger

pg 229- 234 "Marleenken" is spelled differently in the rhymes when the bird sings than when she is referred to in the text. In the
the rhyms she is " Marleeniken" ("i" in the name). In the text she is referred to as "Marleenken" (no "i"). My first thoughts are the the "i" was instered in the rhyms to make her name rhyme with "Beeniken" (leg-lets).

In the rhymes "Beinchen" is actually written "Beeniken" (with an "i").

Distaff -> Rocken is not in the glossary.

pg 466 No. 75 -> No. 73.

Num. 45. (Tailor Daumerling.) This Märchen is also in the tabarisch collection (newest ed. London. 1809. T. III. 37 – 52.) told: the life and adventures of Tom Thumb. A tailor's
child he is here not, but plain daumerling, and as much else is the same, still this English saga contains pretty peculiarities, for example P.41. when the mother milks the cow, and at the same time it is a windy
day, so that he is not blown away from her, she binds him with a thread to a thistle, which hereafter the cow eats and so many other things. What for this story of myths is still more curious, so seems this Tom Thumb to
stand near with other English and Scottish sagas by Tarlane, Tomlin and even Thomas the mythical poets.
